Bad jokes of the day

Posted on January 12, 2011 By admin

A shy guy goes into a bar, sees a beautiful woman, and says, “Um, would you mind if I chatted with you for a while?” She responds by yelling, “No, I won’t sleep with you tonight!” Embarrassed, he slinks back to his table. After a few minutes, the woman walks over and says, “I’m sorry if I embarrassed you. I’m a psych student studying how people respond to embarrassing situations.” To which he responds, at the top of his lungs, “What do you mean, $200?”

One night, on a camping trip, Sherlock Holmes wakes up Watson and says, “Look at the stars. What do you deduce?” Watson thinks for a minute and says, “Well, I see millions of stars, many of which resemble our sun, which most likely have their own planets, which most likely have life-forms like us, so I deduce that there is life on other planets.” And Sherlock says, “No, you idiot, someone’s stolen our tent.”

A blind man walks into a store with his seeing-eye dog. All of a sudden, he picks up the leash and begins swinging the dog over his head. The manager runs up to the man and shouts, “What are you doing?!” The blind man replies, “Just looking around.”

Three old gals are sitting on a park bench, and a flasher comes up and flashes them. Two of the gals have a stroke. But the third couldn’t reach that far.

What do you call a lesbian dinosaur? A lickalotopus.

Two nuns are driving down a road late at night when a vampire jumps onto the hood of their car. The one nun says to the other, “Quick! Show him your cross!” So the other nun leans out the window and shouts, “Get off our f–ing car!”

Bad joke :)

Posted on January 11, 2011 By admin

A guy goes to the doctor and the doctor tells him he has only a day to live. He goes home to tell his wife, who asks what he wants to do with his final hours. Of course he wants to spend them having sex. They have great sex all night long. Finally, at about 2:00 A.M., his wife says she’s tired and wants to go to sleep.

He says, “Oh, come on, can’t we just do it one more time?”

And she says, “Look, I’ve got to get up in the morning — you don’t!”

Well, the holidays are over for this year

Posted on January 4, 2011 By admin

The xmas booze and food and dwindling fast (thank god!), the tree and the trimmings have been put away, it’s no longer snowing on my blog and I’m back at work so that means that the holidays are officially over until next year. Time to start saving the pennies again.

Get a life people!!!

Jeebus. I just checked my email and we’re getting support request emails at work at 11:07pm on new year’s eve.

Seriously. Even at my worst in the lab I was never that bad.

Go home, get drunk, get laid.

You should not be in the lab doing data analysis right now.

My son, the nudist…

Posted on January 1, 2011 By admin

We generally check in on bean before going to bed. Tonight, when Katy went in, she asked me if I was aware that he’d taken off his top. I wasn’t and, on further reflection, I remembered that we put him to bed in a one piece sleepsuit. I went back into the nursery and did a quick check of my own. Lo and behold, doofus was sleeping on his tummy, butt naked after managing to take off not only his suit but also his nappy! Katy dressed him back up while I changed an unfortunately damp bed. Still, he seemed so chuffed with himself :)

Interesting way to start thr year…

Apparently, Santa thinks I’ve been a good boy this year.

Posted on December 31, 2010 By admin

So blogland, has Santa been generous this year? For our household, he has. Possibility overly so, as our credit card balances will probably reflect.

I got some new frying pans, a new cooks knife and a panini press (which has already gotten lots of use). I also got a new Kindle to replace my dying Sony reader, some movies on dvd and a media streaming box that can connect my NAS to the TV.

Katy tried to out-xmas me by buying me a motorcycle jacket but the kitchenaid mixer I got her trounced her plan :) She did buy the best ever gift though, a talking stuffed bacon plush. I’m bacon, oh yeah!

We also went a bit mad with the stocking staffers. I got some biscuits and chocolate, some smellies and various random kitchen implements.

So yeah, we need to do a bit of early spring cleaning to fit everything in the kitchen and everywhere else, but it’s all good.

Christmas has come and gone.

Posted on December 27, 2010 By admin

We’re back home after 6 days at the in-laws. Even though the house is in a bit of a state and we have no food, it’s good to be back home. It’ll take a few days for the normal routine to sink back in. We need to do a massive cleanup and sort out to fit all of the xmas schwag we got. Santa was a bit over generous, though the evil elf Visa might be grumpy for the next little while…

Overall, xmas was good. Was a bit sick on xmas day due to an over-indulgence with the good stuff, but a bit of a post-puke nap sorted that out. Have tons of pics that I want to post online. Everybody seemed to have a good time. There are so many leftovers its rather scary. We have tons of stuff we haven’t even opened yet. I might bring some stuff for the vultures at work cause otherwise were going to blow up if we eat all of the goodies we bought and brought back.

I did most of what I wanted to do in leics. We saw HP and the deathly hallows earlier I’m the week and we saw Tron Legacy last night. Very shiny shiny, a bit preachy and a good soundtrack.

Not exactly sure what the plan is for the next few days but I’m sure it’ll involve cooking and cleaning, and possibly lots of eating.

It’s hard to be a bean

Posted on December 24, 2010 By admin 1 Comment on It’s hard to be a bean

Bean just woke up screaming the house down. His butt is bright red. One of his back molars is coming in and he’s pooing for Britain. He always does that when he’s teething but it seems particularly bad this time. He’ll survive, but it just means lots of nappy changes and a ton of cream. Might also mean sleeping on his tummy for a while, but he does that anyway. Still, never nice to hear him cry like that :(

Making a list, checking it twice.

Posted on December 24, 2010 By admin

We’re slowly getting ready for the big day tomorrow. We’ve been cooking sausages wrapped in bacon, curried chicken skewers, yorkie puds, roast spuds and have done most of Tue veggie prep. That leaves only the roast to do tomorrow and reheating/parboiling stuff that’s already jade a once over so we’re hoping to keep stress at a minimum.

We took bean to see Santa today and were in a better position to take a picture. He looked suitably frightened, so our work here is done for the season. I made our family xmas card and mass emailed it out, so that too is done.

We’re going to open most of the xmas prezzies tonight because it would be a zoo trying to do that tomorrow with bean running around like a whirling dervish. We’ll keep one or two presents each so that we all have something under the tree to show that Santa’s been round though.

Other than that, we have a game plan and it allows for massive amounts of food and drink so rock on!

Hope that any of you who might be reading this have a good holiday season.
